It is easy to use because they have a sort of documentation in their own website and also in another sites in the web. Usually they publish frequently asked questions. The UIs rarely has bugs and it works well. Rarely I need to update the components due a bug.
I have the support subscription, so I don't know for the person that don't have it. For me, that owns it, it works very quickly and they are very objective trying to find the solution. They don't take much time to answer. When they don't know the answer in hands, they always try to find at least an workaround to have it working.
Kendo UI is perfect when you start to develop the application from scratch and it is less appropriated when you have different architectures applied in a existing project. They always update their portifolio and give new functionalities to be used. They have always updated their set of components to be used to latest technologies.

Using Progress Kendo UI

2 - It's used to provide UIs for internally developed applications. It speeds up the development process, focusing more in the business logic and improvements. It helps also to have a nice looking facing for the application, that helps users to explorer and quickly find the business functions that they want to use.
1 - Today we have only one user that has more experience and quickly provide support. Mainly is not very often required, because the product is very well written and there are many examples in the internet (Progress website and in certain site). The needs to know the language that is used in the background, but for the front end is necessary to have basic CSS, HTML and javascript knowledge.
  • Create rich UIs
  • Quickly deploy UI and give power to applications without develop UIs
  • Helps user to quickly identify what they need
  • Creating internal applications without need to buy market applications
  • Using most recent technologies without paying expensive courses
  • Creating functionalities that would take much time to have it deployed
  • Exploring more components to be applied
  • Finding more relationships between business and what components could be used
  • Apply to legacy applications
Because it offers to developers time to market and to the users a nice experience using the applications that have the components. The documentation provide is good and as we have technical support in our plan, it completes when we don't know what to do to use the UIs. Frequently they provide updates and new components to be used, even for more recent technologies.
